Hello Team, Currently i have setup the retention period for metrics and traces for 3 days, now i need to move my data to the s3 bucket as i have installed signoz through k8s helm cart, once i move the data to s3, so is the data will be in a readable format or not ?

If you query old data present in s3, clickhouse will automatically fetch it as required.

So apart from adding the retention setting in signoz you don’t need to do anything. But if you want to learn more about tiered storages of clickhouse here are some links. https://altinity.com/blog/2019/11/29/amplifying-clickhouse-capacity-with-multi-volume-storage-part-2 https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/3605
Total retention period is the time for which data will be persisted either in s3/disk. After which it will be deleted. If you want to search for last week data, you will have to change the value of total retention period to 1 week.
